Yes, many of us had the same reaction the first time we fired up GPL and took the Ferrari out for a spin (actually a few spins) at the Nurburgring. GPL would be worth it for the Ferrari and Nurburging alone, I'm still amazed that someone actually was able to produce and release a sim that not only models a track as complex as the 'Ring but also that strives to realistically reproduce the physics models of 1967 F1, on top of this they also gave us different car models each with it's own strengths, weaknesses and feel, and finally TCP/IP multiplay which has worked out terrific for most of us on VROC. I was thinking about this the other day, 1998 was a very good year for us auto-sim enthusiasts, I can tell that like GP2 and ICR2, GPL will have a home on my HD for years to come. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva

Hehehe,,,, yup, that Ferrari engine sound is a real killer, really great when you drive the Ferrari, I tend to use the Lotus, but when I hear that Ferrari coming up on me from behind..... a cold shiver goes down my spine, it's almost enough to make you pull over and let it through (almost.... I said ;-) Enjoy, it's a fabulous bit of software engineering, we all owe Papy and there guys a big thank you. DHawnt (UK) ..... "If you finish second...... you are the first of the losers!" ;-) .
